Intel seemed to manage the problem quite well in the end as did the motherboard manufacturers - although the level of service was a bit variable. Ultimately, many of us paid the price of jumping on a new technology bandwagon at the outset which is so often unwise. But the level of disruption is barely worth mentioning - downtime was limited to a couple of days, I was able to plan it in advance and, in any case, we have a number of other PCs to act as substitutes.

Downtime in my case was limited to about an hour.

The worst thing about the swap out was a certain person going on and on and on about how much better the Gigabyte service was when compared to ASUS...

To be fair though, you did post at length the problems ASUS were giving you...
